An emergency is the absence of choice,the randomness of the world,the crazy chaos of life,robbing us of our safety,our illusions.
But in those moments of darkness and fear,we call out to the light up ahead,to the people we love. We steal back that choice,and we choose each other,we choose friendship and family. We choose hope,we choose joy,we choose to live.
So when the ground shifts beneath our feet,and the storms rage around us,it's all these people that provide relief and offer shelter.
This is how we save ourselves,by saving each other. Because nobody,not anybody,has ever been saved alone.
